Living in the majority-Muslim suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois, she often spends more than three hours a day on public transportation to and from the city, where she feels like a tourist observing Parisian manners. She goes from unstable student to maladjusted adult, doing four years of therapy—her longest relationship. But as she gains distance from her family and comes into her own, she grapples more directly with her attraction to women and how it fits with her religion, which she continues to practice. When Nina comes into her life, she doesn’t know exactly what she needs but feels that something crucial has been missing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis extraordinary first novel, anchored and buoyed by the refrain “My name is Fatima,” is a vital portrait of a young woman finding herself in a modern world full of contradictions. Daas’s journey to living her sexuality in spite of expectations about who she should be offers a powerful perspective on the queer experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePEN Translation Prize Finalist\u003cbr\u003eBustle: Best Book of the Month\u003cbr\u003eLibrary Journal: Best Debut Novel of the Season\u003cbr\u003eLambda Literary: Most Anticipated Book of the Month\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Featherheart Books","offers":[{"title":"Original","offer_id":52626888098016,"sku":"1635421845","price":2730.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Discounted","offer_id":52626888130784,"sku":"1635421846","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/4987\/2096\/files\/9781635421842.jpg?v=1766925724","url":"https:\/\/featherheartbooks.com\/products\/the-last-one-a-novel","provider":"Featherheart Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
